Component Suppression States

Depending on the scope of the work you plan to do at any given time, you can specify an appropriate suppression state for the components. This can reduce the amount of data that is loaded and evaluated as you work. The assembly displays and rebuilds faster, and you make more efficient use of your system resources.

There are three suppression states for assembly components: resolved, suppressed, and lightweight.

Contents

  • Resolved

    Resolved (or unsuppressed) is the normal state for assembly components. A resolved component is fully loaded in memory, fully functional, and fully accessible. All its model data is available, so its entities can be selected, referenced, edited, used in mates, and so on.

  • Suppressed

    You can use the suppressed state to remove a component temporarily from the assembly, without deleting it. It is not loaded in memory, and it is no longer a functional member of the assembly. You cannot see a suppressed component, or select any of its entities.

  • Lightweight Components

    You can load an assembly with its active components fully resolved or lightweight. Both parts and subassemblies can be lightweight.
